lowing resolution adopted ut q meeting Of the

members of the Master Masons' and Builders
Association that We shall shut down all our
work until the strike is over" You are hereby

spectfully.
JOSEPH DOwNEY, President.
All building operations under the control
Of contractors who are members of the
Master Masons' Association Of Chicago
were shut down last night SO far as the
bricklayers and stOnemasons are concerned.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 workmen
are now idle in the building trades Of this
city as the result Of the strikes or the lock-
out. The general shutdown inaugurated
last evening is the outgrOwth of a series
of strikes in the building trades, and
Is in the nature of an attempt by the
employers to force q battle with the
wOrkmen and secure q lasting peace dur
Ing the season. The carpenters, painters
and other men, it Is announced, will keep
at work as long as there is any thing to do,
but this will not help them much, for prac-
tically all work will in three of four days
be blocked by the lockout of the brick
layers and masons. The employers claim tn
have established perfect embargo on
building material during the lockout. The
North Side Brick Manufacturers Associa-
ton at meeting yesterday decided to shut
down Wednesday. They employ 600 men,
and this force will be added to the idle
army of 10000. The sufferers so far are
composed of about 1900 bricklayers, 1000
hOdcarriers, 1850 carpenters, painters and
plumbers and |, 500 miscellaneous mechanics
and laborers An uprOariOus meeting Of
the Bricklayers' Union was held last night,
but no action of any kind was taken either
to rescind the demand for a Saturday pay
day or to formally declare strike.

No Harm Done.

WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator Vest
called at the White House yesterday MORN
ing for the first time since the second term
story was started. The President laughed
quite heartily over the Senator's faux pas
in the various interviews credited to him
on the subject of second term, and re-
marked that he knew the story started
with the Missouri Senator, because it con-
tanned statement that he never made to
any one else but him, and that was shat
nobody but his wife would believe him
when he said that he was not a candidate
for second term" After talking the mat
ter over pleasantly, both concluded that no
serious harm had been done.

Chief Packing Center.

New YORK, May 14.-Bradsfreet says:
''The Kansas City packing houses, with
greatly increased capacity, are running on
full time, placing that city first as pack
ing center. A pronounced feature is the
almost universal decline Of bank clearing
totals at large centers for the week ended
to-day. Money is easier at New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and New Or
leans, but tight in Kansas City, where, as
at Milwaukee and Cincinnati, the demand
from the country is still felt"
